Mesias will be out three months after
surgery on his arm this past Monday. They’re crediting Perro Aguayo
Jr.’s attack with a chair back in Pachuca (04/01). Mesias was still
wrestling up to Sunday night, so it must’ve been something he could work
thru to an extent, though may be not long term or as well as he’d like.
It was three weeks between the injury angle and the surgery, which
suggests AAA didn’t know exactly how bad it’d be but wanted to cover
their bases. That’d also explain why Perro challenge Mesias to a title
match at TripleMania, which wouldn’t seem possible now.
The
Observer did mention last AAA was considering moving back TripleMania to
July. AAA would’ve known Mesias would not be healthy for the normal
June date at that point and may have wanted to wait to do the show until
July, but this would mean late July at the soonest. Pushing TripleMania
back would also stack up the rest of the year; that show, Verano de
Escandalo, Heroes Inmortales and Guerra de Titanes would be squeezed
together in about four months. Last year’s schedule was less audacious
and AAA still downplayed one of the shows to build the others. If AAA
tried to do all four big shows in the second half of the year, they’ll
probably end up with two big shows and two slightly bigger than usual TV
tapings.
If Mesias is not back for TripleMania, whenever that
turns out to be, the main events have to shuffle again. Perro Aguayo Jr.
has no logical opponent, unless they drop the Teddy Hart feud and put
Jack with Perro for the hair match after all.
The AAA title seems
a bit cursed at the moment, or at least weakened from where it was a
couple years ago. Mesias will have a long time between defenses
following a Jarrett reign notable for the long gaps in appearances (and
creatively unsatisfying defenses.) Jarrett won the title from Zorro, who
seemed to fall off a cliff as soon as he won the belt. Zorro won the
belt from Wagner, who’s title matches were build around an unending
amount of interference spots from Silver King’s guys and voice
recordings from beyond the grave. Wagner won it from Electroshock, who
himself won the title by beating a guy who wasn’t even champion. This is
not a stellar run.
